Chapter Thirty-Three: Su Chan’s Past

"That's right," Su Chan nodded in response.

As Su Chan recounted, the renowned Su family of Liuzhou City unfolded before Ye Cheng's eyes like a vivid painting. It turned out that about five or six years ago, before the patriarch of the Su family passed away, their family's pharmaceutical business had always been in their hands...

"Kill!" Ji Hua offered no further words. In a flash, he drew the Heaven-Shattering Divine Sword, pouring all his divine power into it like the surging Yangtze River. Instantly, the once dormant sword blazed with radiant light, erupting like a volcano and piercing the clouds. An overwhelming and suffocating pressure blanketed the land for a thousand miles around.

In his hand was a fan over six feet long, inlaid with gemstones of every attribute, appearing dazzlingly ornate and strikingly similar to the legendary Banana Leaf Fan.

The wicked little lady said no more, stretching out her hand to summon a swirling vortex of darkness. Immediately, a heap of items tumbled out from within.

Even Shen Nan was visibly affected, unconsciously restraining herself and listening attentively as he explained the basics of dietary therapy, human acupoints, and the effects of various medicines he recalled.

At last, Burying Heaven fled to the edge of the sea. Surrounded by pursuers and with no way out, he leapt into the ocean with the black box in hand.

Every day, livestock were slaughtered to entertain us. Feeling uneasy about this, we ventured into the forest during the day to hunt for our own food.

Then, turning his gaze to the immobilized Xia Zhi, he offered a warm smile, but recalling his earlier involuntary confession, a trace of panic flickered in his eyes.

"Hehe... Brother Cai, you must be joking," Qiu Longsan quickly replied, enduring the pressure brought on by Feng Hao.

"It was pure luck. I hope the old master won't take offense," Chen Yu, despite centuries of cultivation and an expectation to be used to everything, still retained a fiery temperament. Yet for those with contributions and backbone, especially venerable seniors, he held deep respect.

Xuande opened the door to a meditation room; inside, it was immaculate. This hardly seemed like a deserted monastery. Jade Ruo felt bewildered. Had all the monks gone out to beg for alms?

This was a fundamental truth that could not be refuted. Now, with Ni Suanqiu displaying the intact corpse of a four-armed black-armored cultivator, the truth laid bare, the other powerful cultivators present immediately believed what Ni Suanqiu had said.

"You heard me leaving when I was so quiet?" Yan'er was skeptical. She was so afraid of being discovered that she barely dared make a sound with her footsteps.

Qiu Liang, though collapsed, was still struggling. Blood bubbled from his mouth as he glared at everyone present with a venomous expression, one that would haunt many for a long time.

Before the quiver of arrows even appeared, Zhang Tie had already begun shooting, for the Mongols were now well within the range of his short composite bow.

"She's dead! But I'm still alive... hahaha!" A crazed laughter echoed around Yu Ruo and her companions.

"Weren't you just like me before?" Su Xuan chuckled softly, then sat down beside her, untying her hands and releasing her acupoints. She had only bound her earlier because she had to venture out for food.

"Who allowed you in here?" he deliberately deepened his voice, though he knew in his heart this girl would not be intimidated.

As he spoke, he coughed even harder, as if it might somehow lessen his pain.

I helped her take out the bed sheet. Tao Hao, perfectly in sync, climbed onto the bed and took down her own quilt. Together, we swiftly replaced the clean sheet, each working from one side.

The rescue boat arrived over twenty minutes later than expected, finally berthing beside the stargate. At this distance, there was a thirty-three second delay in communications. Zhu Ke first reported that the interior of the stargate was brightly lit, but he could not locate the entrance to the ship bay and was searching for the manual control module on the outer wall.
